Improving My Career in 2014

Sorry 2013 but I have to move on. Bye. Time to change my attitude and mindset in 2014.

Certifications have been on my mind. On and off. I attempted VMware’s VCA exam and passed. One step closer to my VCP which I plan on attempting in 2014.

Since August 2013 I was studying for the CCNP SWITCH, 642-813, exam. Unfortunately, I failed the day after Christmas. I learned that I need to apply the mindset of improving my skill set. Don’t focus on passing an exam. That will come naturally as my knowledge in switching improves.

Having an affinity towards network engineering I joined Cisco’s Champion program. It fits well with my career as I evangelize Cisco products.

Moving into 2014

Looking forward into 2014 I am thinking about ramping it up and setting up my goals page again. In 2014 I am increasing my knowledge, skill sets, and supplementing with certifications.

Luckily, I am playing with multiple technologies such as Cisco hardware, virtualization, VoIP, and wireless. One of my weak areas is ASA which I may plan on learning more through the CCNP Security track.

2014 is going to be the year for me to greatly increase my skill sets. That is my goal.
